German

Alternative forms

• detto (alternatively in Austria), ditto (obsolete)
• do., dto. (abbreviation)

Etymology

From Late Middle High German ditto (15th c.), from older Italian ditto, variant of detto (past participle of dire (“to say”)). The spelling dito, possibly influenced by Venetan dito, appears in German already in the 17th century and thus apparently earlier than French dito (18th c.), though this last may have reinforced it later on.

1. ditto

Tagalog dito

Inherited from Western Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *di-tu. The latter half of the word is likely related to ito, in a similar pattern to other Tagalog demonstrative pronouns. Compare Cebuano didto and Ilocano ditoy. Meanwhile, the former half is possibly related to Malay di and Indonesian di as a likely cognate.
